VLC is a free media player that can record pictures from a webcam. The AppleScript tells VLC to take pictures for as long at the user requires. Time Lapse Assembler makes a video from the pictures.

How to Use
1) Open VLC (Free Download at: VideoLan.org)
2) Set your preferences for capture, in VLC, VLC --> Preferences --> Video --> Video Snapshots
3) Set your capture device, in VLC, File --> Open Source
4) Also, set your resolution in the capture device area
5) Change the repeat, in the AppleScript, to how many pictures you want
6) Change the delay, in this AppleScript, to how many seconds delay you want between each picture
7) You may need to allow the Script Editor to control the computer. That is found in System Preferences --> Privacy --> Accessibility --> Script Editor of your Mac operating system
8) Run the AppleScript
9) When the AppleScript is done, use Time Lapse Assembler to make the video
