    You could try mixing flash and ambient/available light. The flash would freeze the movement and then a longish exposure would capture your screen work. Obviously if the screen stuff is animated then you're just going to get a blur with any length of exposure -

    If you've not got a powerful flash gun and the time to experiment then available light and a tripod is all you can do.

    Use a fast wide angle lens. Set the ISO rating to 400/800 (as said before). f2.8 or wider if you can, and probably 1/4 second or more for the screens to burn in. Again you're tests should give you an idea.

    A blib of fill flash will possibly freeze some motion but it depends on where you are, how powerful your flash is and how long your shutter is open for.
