How to reduce the intensity of the shadow?

Hi!
I’d like to ask you
how to reduce the intensity of the shadow of the tree (see image):


I don’t change energy of the sun

youll have to comp in the shadow seperately, and adjust intesity then.

Ignore the reflection, this was done in blender Render.
Simply rendered the video without shadow. Then another render with the shadow and the shadow pass turned on. The shadow pass i renderd to file and brought it back in.


Here is a youtube video to help you out
