I had a similar thread before but for genral tips i thought it might help some people.
Is it based on objective views or is there a visual mood creation thing you percive when you look at a scean.

1. set yourself a clearly defined goal of what you want to achive in terms of lighting/mood
2. get as much reference as you can
3. try to reproduce the lighting mood/effect
4. do variations
5. cheat! (dont try to get the perfect lighting setup in c4d which may take forever to render if you can fix it in post)
6. get other people to critic your work

and ahm yeah:
10. scrap everything if it looks good ;)

cheers
