the concept is two fold:
1) drag your shutter down to the lowest speed to stop motion, ss 1/80 - 1/40 depending on how still they are and how zoomed out you are. you might need more ss if they are moving a bit.
and
2) raise you iso to at least 400, but even higher, iso 800 if needed for the effect to bring in ambient light
Or you could approach it methodically:
- Get a standard ambient meter reading (zero compensation).
- Use settings that deviate from that to reduce image brightness by a chosen number of steps, e.g. -1 1/3 (aperture for desired DOF, shutter for desired motion blur up to max sync, ISO to match).
- Set the flash output to give the desired brightness on the subject (FEC in E-TTL or directly in manual).
