==Career==
Anthony studied a degree in Literature at [[Madras Christian College]], Tambaram, but found himself unsure of a career path once he has finished his education. Following suggestions from his friends, he began learning about animation at Prasad Studio and subsequently also enrolled to learn about editing. He thereafter, received offers to work on corporate ads, trailers and documentaries from 1993 for Edit Point and continued to work in the same practice til 2004, often collaborating with leading ad film makers like [[Rajiv Menon]]. He then began to work on editing songs in films occasionally, also gaining experience by editing tele-films. Director [[Gautham Menon]] asked Anthony to edit the song "Ennai Konjam" in ''[[Kaakha Kaakha]]'' for the audio release event of that film, and impressed with his work for that song and he asked him to sign on as the film's editor.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/news/2000march20/chitchat-anthony.html|title=Anthony - chitchat - Telugu and Tamil film editor}}</ref> He has since associated with the biggest directors in Tamil cinema, collaborating regularly with directors including [[S. Shankar|Shankar]], [[AR Murugadoss]], [[Gautham Menon]], [[Linguswamy]], [[K. V. Anand]] and [[A. L. Vijay]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://behindwoods.com/new-videos/videos-q1-09/director-interview/editor-anthony.html|title=Editor Anthony - Tamil Cinema Editor Interview - Editor Anthony - Endhiran - Sivaji - Nadunisi Naigal - 7am Arivu - Vaanam - Poda Podi - Behindwoods.com}}</ref>

Anthony has also nurtured an ambition to direct films and began pre-production on a comedy film titled ''Jagathalapradhaban'' in November 2008 featuring [[Jayaram]], [[Yuhi Sethu]] and [[Namitha]]. The film, however failed to take off.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/from-holding-scissors-to-wielding-megaphone-tamil-news-43047|title=From holding scissors to wielding megaphone}}</ref> Anthony revealed in August 2014 that he was set to make his first film, and it would be the remake of the Malayalam film ''[[Shutter (2012 film)|Shutter]]'' (2012).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/editing-happened-by-sheer-coincidence-says-antony-news-tamil-oinjX3jicdbjg.html|title=Editing happened by sheer coincidence, says Antony|work=Sify}}</ref> In November 2014, he announced and began work on the venture featuring [[Sathyaraj]] in the lead role. The film also stars [[Anumol]], Kalyani Natarajan and Dixitha Kothari.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sify.com/movies/editor-anthony-turns-director-news-tamil-olyrA0ebegagi.html?ref=slideout|title=Editor Anthony turns director|work=Sify}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/editor-anthony-to-wear-the-directors-hat-tamil-news-119426|title=Editor Anthony to wear the directors hat}}</ref>
