Animated film “Cio Tao” highlights the topic of Cio Tao ceremony; a
maturity ceremony before marriage in Tionghoa Peranakan (Indonesian
Chinese) ethnicity. The practice of this ceremony is getting more and more
forgotten because people don’t know the moral meanings in every rituals of
the ceremony. Those meanings are implied in the Tionghoa's (Chinese)
properties used in the marriage ceremony. This paper interprets the
decoration motifs and then implements the adaptation concept into the
property design in the animated film “Cio Tao”. This paper uses qualitative
method research to explain the relationship between the motifs’ meanings
and shapes with the properties used. The design methodology was used to
create this animated film. There are some modifications from cultural
Tionghoa's visual pattern for designing property of the animated film. The
visual adaptation of this study uses literature, existing visual pattern, and the
Tionghoa's (Chinese) marriage ceremony properties observation as data for
motif decoration conceptualization.
