I faked a 2D cell look for the umbrella shadow in 3D using a flat plane of geometry with a darker color than the background. To finalize the effect, I kicked out two renders: one with the shadow and one without. During compositing, I layered the shadow render on top of the render without a shadow. Afterwards, I cut out the bottom with a feathered mask to create a gentle falloff!
I repeated the same process with the sphere, this time masking each shadow manually frame by frame to create the same effect:
