I've been watching the Next Generation for a while but on my dad's recommendation I started SNW and I love it. I'm getting through it really quickly and thought about jumping straight to TOS after.

Is it going to be really jarring or do the two sync quite nicely? Do the characters feel a bit flat after all the exploration they get in SNW?

Why's that and how did watching the movies but not having seen the original series effect them?

Not the guy you're responding to, but I also watched the movies before watching TOS. Well I actually did try watching TOS first, but "The Cage" turned me off to it for awhile. Anyway I honestly recommend this approach to anyone who is struggling to get into TOS. The movies stand on their own pretty much, even WoK gives you all the information you need to enjoy the movie. It's a good way to get into the characters in a more accessible format.
