One great way to animate objects in CINEMA 4D is to record your mouse movements. This can help you to animate not just characters, but also comes in useful for motion graphics effects and other things when you want to add haphazzardness/natural motion that you can capture using your mouse. It's also quite fun :D Please note that the MOCCA module is required.
