Sounds like it takes more than a year, The way it looked so simple I thought it'd be easy, guess I was wrong :d

When I taught animation it took about a semester to get the students doing basic walk cycles, with one class per week.

<p>I found this "3D Character Template" which can be used in after effects:</p>

You answered your own question in your tags: use **Animation** in a **3D** package like **Blender**.

But TBH your question is too broad to be answerable. To tell you how to make those 3D characters yourself we'd have to explain modelling, rigging, skinning lighting and rendering, not to mention the principles of animation. To give even a basic explanation of any one of those topics would be way beyond the scope of a Stack Exchange anser.
