Pacuan kuda di Tanoh Gayo merupakan salah satu tradisi budaya masyarakat Gayo,
namun belum dikenal secara luas. Minimnya media promosi yang menarik menjadi
salah satu penyebabnya. Proyek ini bertujuan untuk mendokumentasikan dan
memperkenalkan tradisi tersebut dalam bentuk animasi 3D. proses pembuatan animasi
mencakup tahap pra-produksi (pengumpulan data, naskah, dan storyboard), produksi
dengan Blender 3.6 (modeling, rigging, animasi, rendering), serta pasca-produksi
menggunakan Adobe Premiere Pro (editing, transisi, dubbing, dan backsound). Hasil
akhir berupa video animasi berdurasi 1 menit 34 detik dalam format MP4 dan resolusi

ABSTRACT Horse racing in Tanoh Gayo is one of the cultural traditions of the Gayo people, but it is not widely known. The lack of interesting promotional media is one of the causes. This project aims to document and introduce this tradition in the form of 3D animation. The animation creation process includes pre-production stages (data collection, scripts, and storyboards), production with Blender 3.6 (modeling, rigging, animation, rendering), and post-production using Adobe Premiere Pro (editing, transitions, dubbing, and backsound). The final result is a 1 minute 34 second animated video in MP4 format and 1080 HD resolution, which successfully represents the atmosphere and uniqueness of Gayo horse racing visually and attractively. This project shows that 3D animation can be an effective educational and cultural promotional media. Keywords: 3D animation, horse racing, Tanoh Gayo, Blender, Adobe Premiere Pro
