It's real hard Work, don't underestimate it. For the Animations I would suggest to use CharacterFX. Once familar with it you can produce things like Walk or Run in one or two hours.
Modeling of Characters is even harder. Texturing as well. You better try to find some cheap Model Packages. Products like "Military essentials" from binary people or the "DarkMatter" CD from amazon uk are useful.
Some Items can be found on the web, but most stuff is copyright protected or simply has way too high polycount.
