I found a great freeware program called InstantShot! and have been using it now for the afternoon. It works really well, and you can set it up for auto shots that go right into whatever folder you want them to, at any second intervals you'd like. It's really convenient.

CaptureMe suppports AppleScript, so you might be able to do it by using AppleScript.

I did not use Google to see if any of the others support AppleScript, after I found that CaptureMe did, so you might want to check if the others do too.
