Can you save a series of Previews instead of 'real' renders?

Is there any way to save an animated sequence in Live Preview Render-quality, instead of 'real' renders?

On a related note, is it possible to cheat the camera?

Can you for example get 35mm DOF when you use a 150mm Octane lens? Perhaps by faking the aperture somehow? Or does the camera follow all physical laws to the letter?

In case anyone wonders why I want to save previews instead of real renders:

For hair objects, previews are more fluffy because they are less defined. This softness, or lack of precision, is very desirable and can not be achieved otherwise as far as I can see.

In addition to that, previews obviously render much faster.

So it would be a win-win.
