Struggling to make 3D Character Animations

After seeing Rosa, I have been trying to make a short video using opensource/free software but I must admit that this is hard. I found Daz3d easy to use (compared to Blender etc) but then I have been unsuccessful in creating realistic motion. Even a simple walk cycle is difficult. I found a pretty neat run that was created quite a while ago using Natural Motion's software which is not available any more :(
I collected many links like http://www.posermocap.com/resources/ (nice info on clothing using Marvelous Designer)
I thought of capturing motion using software like http://www.kinovea.org or http://b-tk.googlecode.com/svn/web/mokka/index.html or https://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/ and using with Daz3d's characters but in vain :(

Can anyone suggest how I can create or learn to create a short character animation? I don't care if it is 3D or 2D for now. Please share some ideas.
