Film production in Denpasar
Between December and June, usable daylight in Denpasar moves by 1h 00min — from 12h 37min down to 11h 37min. An exterior day in December is a different day from one in June. This page carries sunrise, sunset and golden-hour times for all twelve months.
Light and shooting hours
On 15 June, the sun in Denpasar rises at 06:32 and sets at 18:09; the evening golden hour starts at 17:39 and runs for 30 minutes. By December that shifts to 05:56–18:34, with a 30-minute golden-hour window from 18:04.
In practice, a spread of 1h 00min means a schedule that works here in summer does not work in winter at the same location — with the same setup count, the hours simply are not there.

Blue hour and shooting windows
Blue hour in Denpasar starts at 18:23 in June and ends at 18:32 — a window of 9 minutes. In December it is 9 minutes from 18:48. If you need a city view with lit windows, that window is all you get.
Sunset moves fastest around the equinoxes: between March (18:34) and September (18:17) there are 17 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.
