This is also a composite shot -- four separate renders. There's a cheat you can use when compositing complex scenes where you want the shadows to fall correctly against other objects. One of the renders has character A in place, but naked. A shows shadows on B, B makes shadows. When you render A fully equipped, you don't even need B in the scene because you already have the working shadows. Etc. Also, don't delete a primary figure from a scene, it'll change your lighting. When you composite, make objects invisible while leaving "cast shadows" on. Even if you can't see it, the software can and treats it accordingly. If you want a background image without all the trouble of compositing, take the square, size it how you need it, and UV map it at the new size, then apply the background. You won't get much distortion that way.
