[ELECTRON] bash CLI USB/FireWire webcam frame graber ~ VideoScript?

[Ian Bitmap]

Hey - I'd done something similar a few years back with VVVV, attaching an
lfo to trigger a frame grab from a video camera over firewire, then putting
the resulting images together in aviScript/VirtualDub for some stop motion
lovelyness.

For us windoze users, VVVV offers 'Quartz Composer' esque speed, though
sadly lacks the ability to export as quicktime movies...)
