I would suggest a few things in addition to the other good advice already given:

1) 'pass the baton' from right to left hand... do f# to g trills, or 8th and 16th note exchanges, slowly at first then increase the tempo.

2) coordinate the left hand's independence... do g - a 16ths, again slowly at first.

3) Eventually, add g - b , then g - c upward intervals (stick to the lower range for a while).

Do as Hautbois suggests and minimize the finger movement... relax, and let it happen and .... use a metronome. Improvise combinations of 16th and the ocassional 8th note. Work in some triplets... alternate 8th, 16th, and triplet patterns. Use the metronome. And relax... it must be almost effortless with minimal motion.
