Michael,

Faster film... Faster shutter speeds..

Im not sure what film you use now, but most major film manufacturers make
a 1600 speed film in both B/W and Color.. (Not slide)

So, Id use something like for b/w Fuji Neopan at 1600.. open wide (or one
stop down to get a better depth of field) and shoot at 250 or greater.
