Blue hour and shooting windows
Blue hour in Porto Alegre starts at 17:49 in June and ends at 17:59 — a window of 10 minutes. In December it is 11 minutes from 19:39. If you need a city view with lit windows, that window is all you get.
Sunset moves fastest around the equinoxes: between March (18:43) and September (18:18) there are 25 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.
