Automator pause for random time

Question

Okay, I am trying to set up a tethered camera type of deal that randomly takes pictures every 5-15 seconds.
Question #1
Is there a way to specify the random number variable to remain within a range of specific numbers, so for example it will only generate numbers 5-15?
Question #2
How can I take the number in the random variable and use it as the time in the "Pause" function?
Question #3
Or is there some easier way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
If I get this working, it'll basically be...
Take Picture>
Pause (here is where I need the help!)>
Loop for 15 minutes then end>
Additional Loop, this time asking if you want to start from the beginning>
Download Pictures>
Import Files into iPhoto.
Any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

to pause for a random time as you want use the following apple script action instead of the pause action
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on run {input, parameters}
set x to random number from 5 to 15
delay x
return input
end run</pre>
