Rendering and Lighting

So for the animated sequence I'm rendering 240 frames. I learnt how to do batch rendering from previous turntable animations I did for old modelling projects.

For the lighting I used a simple area light with no shadows.

I am also batch rendering 2 passes. A diffuse and shadow pass.

Bath rendering with no floor.

Batch rendering shadows. (Light doesn't have any shadow options turned on.)

 There where allot of issues with the shadow pass mainly concerning the strange shadows on the female character. Here I've circled the issues with the ray traced shadows option turned on(shadow rays = 40 and Ray Depth Limit = 1. Same issue happens with depth map shadows so in the end I just rendered without any of the shadow options turned on to mitigate the issue.
