Light and shooting hours
On 15 June, the sun in Curitiba rises at 07:02 and sets at 17:35; the evening golden hour starts at 17:01 and runs for 34 minutes. By December that shifts to 05:22–19:04, with a 33-minute golden-hour window from 18:31.
For scheduling, that means the window for the one shot that lives on light runs between 30 and 34 minutes across the year. Put it last in the day and the first overrun takes it.

Blue hour and shooting windows
Blue hour in Curitiba starts at 17:51 in June and ends at 18:00 — a window of 10 minutes. In December it is 10 minutes from 19:20. If you need a city view with lit windows, that window is all you get.
Sunset moves fastest around the equinoxes: between March (18:35) and September (18:11) there are 24 minutes of difference. A schedule running over several weeks cannot work from one fixed "sunset" time.
Planning a shoot here
A schedule that ignores these numbers looks fine on paper and falls over on the day. TillyGen folds sun position, travel and crew availability straight into the schedule — if the exterior no longer fits before sunset in June, the plan says so, not the wrap report.
