The shooting season in numbers

In Málaga, the longest day falls in June at 14h 40min, the shortest in December at 9h 40min. Through the winter months, less than half the summer light remains — at an unchanged setup count that means either fewer shots per day or one more shoot day.

For exteriors the afternoon is the critical part: golden hour starts at 21:00 in June and as early as 17:23 in December. Scheduling an exterior at the end of a winter day effectively cancels it.

Planning a shoot in this region

Moving between two locations inside Andalusia in a single day costs 60 to 120 minutes of shooting time per company move — the drive being the smallest part of it. Wrap-out, loading, unloading and re-rigging come to three to five times the travel time itself.

Two moves in one day is the point where most schedules stop being achievable. Combined with the winter light window that means: one location change, one exterior, and the day is full.

TillyGen computes travel, sun position and crew availability together rather than in three separate documents. If a change makes the day impossible, the plan says so — not the wrap report.
